| 1: And straightway in the morning the
chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
|
| |
| 2: And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering
said unto him, Thou sayest it. |
| |
| 3:
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered
nothing. |
| |
| 4: And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how
many things they witness against thee. |
| |
| 5: But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
|
| |
| 6: Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired. |
| |
| 7: And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had
made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. |
| |
| 8: And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had
ever done unto them. |
| |
| 9: But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the
King of the Jews? |
| |
| 10: For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
|
| |
| 11: But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them. |
| |
| 12: And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that
I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? |
| |
| 13: And they cried out again, Crucify him. |
| |
| 14: Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they
cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. |
| |
| 15: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. |
| |
| 16: And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and
they call together the whole band. |
| |
| 17: And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and
put it about his head, |
| |
| 18: And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
|
| |
| 19: And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him,
and bowing their knees worshipped him. |
| |
| 20: And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and
put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. |
| |
| 21: And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of
the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. |
| |
| 22: And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull. |
| |
| 23: And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received
it not. |
| |
| 24: And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting
lots upon them, what every man should take. |
| |
| 25: And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
|
| |
| 26: And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING
OF THE JEWS. |
| |
| 27: And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and
the other on his left. |
| |
| 28: And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered
with the transgressors. |
| |
| 29: And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, |
| |
| 30: Save thyself, and come down from the cross. |
| |
| 31: Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with
the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. |
| |
| 32: Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may
see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. |
| |
| 33: And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour. |
| |
| 34: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me? |
| |
| 35: And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elias. |
| |
| 36: And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will
come to take him down. |
| |
| 37: And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
|
| |
| 38: And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom. |
| |
| 39: And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so
cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
|
| |
| 40: There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; |
| |
| 41: (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto
him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. |
| |
| 42: And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that
is, the day before the sabbath, |
| |
| 43: Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited
for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the
body of Jesus. |
| |
| 44: And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him
the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. |
| |
| 45: And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
|
| |
| 46: And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the
linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a
stone unto the door of the sepulchre. |
| |
| 47: And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid. |
